North Carolina pauses full SNAP benefits after Supreme Court ruling
North Carolina paused full November SNAP benefits after a Supreme Court stay, with partial payments covering about 65% of normal allotments for over 586,000 households.
- On Nov. 8, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services announced it will pause full November SNAP benefits after the U.S. Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's emergency appeal late Nov. 7, temporarily halting a lower-court order.
- The pause follows a nearly seven-week federal government shutdown that led the Trump administration to say November SNAP benefits would be unavailable, prompting court orders and appeals using an emergency reserve fund containing more than $4.6 billion for partial payments.
- Following USDA guidance, NCDHHS distributed partial payments Friday, with over 586,000 households receiving about 65%, and roughly 190,000 households getting $16 or less, Secretary Sangvai said.
- NCDHHS is updating its website and says it stands ready to issue full benefits once authorized; Gov. Josh Stein emphasized SNAP recipients deserve certainty, not confusion, about their food security.
- Nearly 42 million Americans rely on SNAP, and in North Carolina more than 600,000 households comprising 1.4 million residents depend on the program; private partners contributed nearly $22 million Friday, supporting local food banks.
